Daily Report

On Monday we actually got a break from the wind but the temperature was in the teens and slush ice was a factor in the lower end of the river and did not clear. The release from the dam is 300cfs and Pineville gauge is reading around 500cfs. Windy conditions along with lake effect snow is forecasted for Tuesday, so if you plan on fishing, the upper end of the river between Altmar and Pineville would be your best choice. For those anglers who are fly fishing, dead drifitng with nymphs, indicator fishing with egg patterns or swinging small streamers with sink tips have all produced results. For those anglers who are bottom bouncing or float fishing, egg sacs, beads, pink worms and marabou jigs have all produced results.
